Terms of Sale

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at our sole discretion.

Payment Methods

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, and checks.

For in-store purchases paid by check, the book will be released once the check has cleared.

Payment arrangements are available for books priced over $500. Please inquire by email or message us through social media.

Returns

All books purchased online may be returned within 14 days of receipt for a credit or refund. The book must be returned in the same condition in which it was shipped.

This return policy applies only to online sales. In-store items are sold as-is, since customers have the opportunity to examine them in person before purchasing.

Shipping

We offer shipping through the United States Postal Service by Media Mail or Priority Mail. If you require UPS or FedEx shipping, please contact us by email and we will make arrangements.

Please note that USPS Media Mail may take several weeks to reach its destination within the United States, although it remains a reliable shipping method. For faster delivery, please select Priority Mail.

For international shipments, a Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope for one standard-sized book is $26.50, except to Canada, where the rate is $22.50. Variable-rate Priority Mail International shipping is available for larger books or multiple-book orders.

We will always select the least expensive available air shipping method for international orders and will notify the customer if shipping costs are unusually high. DHL Express is also available at cost for expedited or valuable international shipments.

Website Errors

We are not responsible for errors, omissions, or inaccuracies that may appear on our website due to technical issues or unintentional mistakes.

Occasionally, an item may appear on the website after it has already been sold, or it may go live before a price has been assigned. Although such errors are rare, they may occur. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to cancel the sale. Thank you for your understanding.
